After a successful womb transplant operation took place in Sweden last year, 10 British women without wombs will also be given a chance to undergo the operation in a clinical trial. The ten British women will be selected if they are under 38, are of healthy weights and have long term partners. Before the trial starts, embryos will be created and frozen from the women’s eggs and the sperm of their partner. The women will then undergo six-hour procedures to receive wombs from donors who are declared brain dead but still have beating hearts. The women will then be placed on immunosuppressant drugs for 12 months before the embryos can be implanted and the babies will be delivered by caesarean section to avoid placing strain of labor on their new wombs. If the trial is successful, the first British baby from a womb transplant mother will be born in late 2017 or 2018....

A woman in Sweden has achieved a medical first after giving birth to a health baby boy following a womb transplant.
The 36-year-old mother received a uterus from a close family friend last year.
Her baby boy was born prematurely by cesarean section but is healthy and mother and child are now at home and doing well.
The Swedish woman had healthy ovaries, but she was born without a uterus - a syndrome seen in one girl in 4,500.
One year after the transplant, when doctors were confident the womb was working well, they transferred a single embryo created in a lab dish using the woman\'s eggs and her husband\'s sperm.
The woman, who has only one kidney, had three mild rejection episodes, including one during pregnancy, but all were successfully treated with medicines.
Mats Brannstrom, Professor and Team Leader of the Uterus Transplantation Team said more research needed to be done adding \"I think this is not going to be routine clinical care or routine surgery until many, many years from now.

Albin Eriksson initially seems just like any other energetic and curious young boy, however he is unique. He is the first child ever born from a transplanted womb, donated by his grandmother to his mother.
Born without a uterus, Emelie Eriksson thought she was denied the opportunity to start the family she craved. However, all this changed thanks to the vision of Professor Mats Brännström and a donor womb from Emelie\'s mother. As she plays with her son, Emelie muses on the significance of this radical surgery. “This is something that you read in history books, and now in the future when you read about this, it’s about me.”
